"Wait a minute," Ned interrupted, "you left her and ran away?"
"Three armed robbers appeared in Queens!" Peter's voice finally gained some confidence, "What can I do? Let them wait until I confess my feelings before arresting them?"
"Theoretically you can..."
"Ned!"
"Okay, okay, you continue."
Peter told what happened after he returned to the dessert shop.
The phone was silent for a long time.
"Ned?"
"I'm thinking." Ned's voice was surprisingly serious. "I'm using my brain to process this information. Do you know what this means?"
"Does it mean I messed up?"
"No, it means she likes you."
"... What?"
"She asked you to tell him the same physics problem eight times, Peter. Eight times, do you know what that means? If she really wanted to go home, she would have said 'I understand, thank you and bye' the first time, but she didn't. She would rather listen to you tell her the same physics problem eight times than go home."
"But she said she really didn't want to go home, and..."
"Of course she's going to say that, because she's Ashley White, admitting that she doesn't want to go home because she wants to be with a nerd? Do you think she's going to say that?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone again.
"So she asked me to speak on the topic not because... She thought I spoke well?"
"Oh, do you think what you said was good?"
"I think what I said is okay——"
"She is second in the class, Peter. She doesn't need you to talk about the topic." Ned turned the Lego on the table, "Of course, this is just my guess."
There was another moment of silence.
"But I think she hates me. Well, maybe I'm finished."
